THE OREGON DAILY JOURNAL 20 FRIDAY. MAY 17, 1918. PORTLAND. . OREGON - AR IS NECESSARY IN HI if i THE PRESENT STATE B OF HUMAN SOLUTION psychologist Here to Deliver tec Ktures Says Absolutism in Gov 3 . ernments Will Pass. "Wr ! .'diabolical necessity at the present stage of human evolution, but Uila conflict may be the la at armed bat- ' tie in the centuries-lonr struggle for the rights of man." declared I... W. Rogers, '; theosophlst and psychologist, who was )tt Portland yesterday and opened a course of free lectures " at the Tbeo sophlcal hall. Central building, last night with "The Invisible Side of the War." "Absolutism." he said, "was the only kind of government possible in the in fancy of the race and it served a pur pose then. Force had to "govern. There was neither school nor press. Ignorance and superstition were almost universal. Now , education and 'intelligence are everywhere. The race has attained man hood and anything less than self -government is an Insult. The last thrones on earth are crumbling." speaking of the real issues Involved lnx the world war, the lecturer said, "while at first there was naturally some confusion of thought, the iugio of events has made it all perfectly clear. We have only to observe who are the chief antagonists. The nominal kingdom but actual democracy of Great Birtain, the Republic of France and the United States, are fighting the three last great champions of the divine right of kings Germany, Austria and Turkey. There can be no question about the result be cause evolution Itself Is with the allies. "The rule of the people is coming In, and the sun of absolutism is setting, Klamath Forest Fires Appear Early , Klamath Falls, Or.. May 17. The menace from forest fires is becoming manifest at an unusually early date this year, one fire having burned over 2000 acres in northern Klamath county al ready. The fire started last Thusday near La Pin in this county and burned three days, according to advices just received here. It is said to have burned over a larger territory than any other fire (n that district for many years. Forest rangers were brought from Bend and they finally got the fire under con trol. As the timber In that district is mostly jack or scrub pine, the damage was not great. THIRTY-THREE GET DEGREESFROM GOOIP SAMARITAN HOSPITAL American troops will deliver the death blow to the doctrine of the divine rights of kings, and very probably on German soil." Nurses Sent Out From Training Course; Bishop W. T. Sumner Makes Presentation. Thirty-three nurses received diplomas from the Good Samaritan hospital train ing school Wednesday evening, when the commencement exercises were held before a large crowd at St. Stphens pro-cathedral. Walter T. Sumner, bishop of the Oregon diocese, made the presentation and stated that the Good Samaritan hospital, which was never designed for a- money making Institu tion, did one fourth of its work for charity. - . . . Dr. E. J. Labbe. who recently re turned from hospital service In France, gave the commencement address. He declared the arrival of American Red Cross nurses in France had brought about a great improvement in the care of the sick -and wounded. It had been the practice of the French, he said, to 'close the hospital wards at night and leave . the patients to shift for them selves, but the American nurses Insist ed on keeping night vigils, much to the amasement of the French surgeons, who marveled at their endurance. Dr. Labbe said that the training of all nurses who served In France was practically the same and that the suc cess of each depended upon her char acter. The graduating nurses entered the church in procession preceded by the undergraduates and followed by the clerical members of the board of trustees and the chaplain of the hos- Presence of Mind Saves Girl's Life With her clothing Ignited from a gas h.t.r th.t aha had lighted, Mabel Bald win was badly burned at the horns of ner siaicr, r. 7 .
